A 22-year old was arrested after Border Patrol agents discovered he was trying to smuggle 21 people.

On Sunday evening, Border Patrol received a call about a brown van that had been loading possible illegal aliens in Havana.

The caller reported that multiple people were getting into the vehicle in a brushy area near Dehlia Street.

Two agents responded to the area and saw the van at a nearby intersection off Expressway 83.

As the patrol vehicle approached the van, it made a sudden lane change and darted off in the other direction.

The van was weaving in and out of traffic when the agents signaled the car to pull over.

Agents then approached the van and saw multiple people lying on the floor and in between the seats of the car trying to hid from view.

The driver, Jose Santos Castellanos, immediately put his hands up as a gesture of surrender to the agents.

How do illegals really, how do they come up with $7000 to be smuggled to Houston,$6000 to go up to New York,$13,000 to travel up to New York.

Illegals are doing better than most Americans to be capable of saving up thousands of dollars to be smuggled here

He should have dressed them up as clowns and say he was practicing for the circus.

High school initiation prank, I’m sure. He was probably just trying to beat the all time record of stuffing 75 people into a van. /s

Yeah, things are going really well in Communist Cuba;)

Wonder how many countries get U.S. citizens smuggled into them?

They mostly do not have the money. They make a "contract" with the coyote or snakehead(people smuggler) to work and have the money taken out of their pay from whatever job they have lined up.
Keeps them working cheap and less chance of a runaway because they smugglers will then go after their family back in the homeland.

Bad situation.

So you mean when each pay day, comes smugglers are staking out , businesses across town with debt collector enforcers who will either get their money or make something bad happen to their client sending messages to others of what happens to those who do not pay up.This is what goes on in Mexico.I do not know how they come to the the conclusion, this is a better life.The interest alone would take about a decade to pay

Did you hear the story about the cannibals eating a clown?

One says to the other, "Does this taste funny to you"?

How many illegals can you fit in a car, can, or otherwise?
